Your incredible support made 2024 a success! Check out what we’re celebrating and what we’re looking forward to in 2025.

Introducing our New Logo!

 We are excited to unveil a new logo for the Stillwater Public Library Foundation! This fresh design captures the essence of the Foundation's mission to engage the community and its resources to expand the reach and impact of the library.  

We’re thrilled to announce a generous donation from the Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Club to the Stillwater Public Library Foundation, supporting the purchase of materials to enhance early literacy for children in our community. 

Last year, more than 2,500 hours of volunteer service were given to the library. Volunteers commitment, enthusiasm, and dedication make a profound difference in our community.

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Stillwater Public Library Foundation's newsletter. We are excited to launch this quarterly newsletter, designed to keep you engaged and informed about the impact you make through your support of the foundation.

Hello, I’m Annette Look and I am the new Administrative Coordinator for the Stillwater Public Library Foundation. I’m thrilled to be part of this amazing team and to do work that aligns with my skills and values!

Dave Dittbenner, a volunteer at the Greeter Desk, the Friends Book Sale, and Light a Spark, answers a few questions about his library experience.

Serving on the Stillwater Public Library Board of Trustees is so much more than attending meetings and approving policies. When I joined the board in 2018, little did I know I would be launching into a volunteer job where I would get to review bids for structural analyses, meet with legislative representatives, or enlist the help of a local garden club.

My name is Elsbeth Howe, and I joined the Stillwater Public Library Foundation as the executive director at the end of September. I am so happy to be here. Whenever I walk into a library, I know that there will be many book choices, that help is readily available, and that there are programs and activities available to enlarge my point of view.

Please visit the Stillwater Public Library on the first Wednesday of each month for complimentary coffee and tea at the Information Desk. Adults may enjoy complimentary beverages between 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, and we would love to see you there.

Please join us on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 on the library terrace to learn about the Foundation’s future plans! We’ve invited Heather Logelin from the St. Croix Valley Foundation (SCVF ) to share news about the SCVF, and provide information about supporting nonprofits through estate planning.

Drew hopes to give back to both the library and the Stillwater community during his Board tenure; to help shape the evolution of the library as it adjusts in the digital world.
